California Transfer student to CSUSM... Admitted already?

<p>You should call them and ask why they didn’t accept you.</p>

<p>Welcome @aahollow. I have yet to hear from csusm either, I have been calling admissions and they said maybe around the end if March will be their release dates. </p>

<p>Also, I got denied admission from SDSU–I would suggest calling admin and also appealing. </p>

<p>I am a local SD CC transfer also.</p>

<p>SDSU could only admit 7,000 undergraduate students… which sucks.</p>

<p>…hopefully the luck of the Irish will help me with notice of admission next week…</p>

<p>Screw San Diego State. They rejected me, and I’m from a California Community College with a 3.91 GPA (4.0 in my major, English). </p>

<p>Anyway, I didn’t apply to SM but my girlfriend did, and I’m hoping she gets in. She’s transferring from CSU Stanislaus. Her GPA is iffy, but she’s already been accepted to CSU East Bay.</p>

<p>So how do you know you got accepted to CSUSM? Do they email you, mail something, or do you check on the mycsusm portal? I know a guy that got accepted for computer sciences in February and he said he has no idea if something changed on the portal because he got the email and never checked again. There’s nothing on their website about this either. And they are taking forever, lol
Does anyone know? And good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>It seems to be a big “mystery” as to csusm admin process. The only bits of info I got from admin was that admissions were sent out beginning Feb 1st…and a “probability” that more updates would be released March 23rd or so…We’ll see.</p>

<p>@UCkat89 that’s what I got also. I have a question for you guys tho. Have you heard of not getting a admissions decision because you haven’t finished your last Golden 4 class yet? That seems bogus to me that they would have you waiting for a class that you’re doing right now (in progress). I am basically finished with my AA, I’m in my last math course (College Algebra), and I’ve recently passed my prereq with an A, if I send them another transcript showing them I passed the 1st class and I’m capable of passing the other class it’ll help with making a decision?</p>

<p>@smurray I’m def not qualified to say whether or not another copy of your transcript will help you admission decision; but it does state on the transfer page that as long as you complete the golden 4 class by the end of this Spring term you are a qualified candidate. Usually they will admit you on a conditional pending completion o said class and then send in the transcript by June 1st. But then again, call admin and see what they prefer–personally, I say why not? Here is the link where I got the info: <a href=“http://www.csusm.edu/admissions/transfer/requirements.html[/url]”>http://www.csusm.edu/admissions/transfer/requirements.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>@UCkat89 Yes, I know for a fact I will be completing my last Golden 4 class beginning of May. I haven’t been conditionally admitted anywhere and I’m getting kind of worried. I really hope I didn’t do all this work for nothing. But I’m not understanding why some people have 2-3 Golden 4 classes NOT completed and they’ve already gotten conditionally admitted and I only have one and I’m having a hard time.</p>

<p>@smurray, I’ve never heard of them not giving a decision because a class is still in progress. I am taking communication this semester and have completed the other “golden” classes, so we’re in the same situation. Did you send them a transcript from your current ccc with your fall grades? I remember I had to do that in January. That and your planned courses on your application should be enough. If it wasn’t listed on your application though, send them an email notifying of any changes to your classes planned for this spring semester. I went there in person to add one class (US government and politics) and they told me that should be done by email. I think they are just taking their time with this, like every other school seems to be doing. Stay patient :)</p>

<p>@SBVett I know it sounds weird. The only schools that told me that was Fresno State and CSUSM, but they had different people answering their phones, so I’m assuming the guys who told me this had NO idea what they were talking about. I called both schools and they informed me that someone gave me the wrong information, but if that’s so, then why is it taking them so long to make a decision?? Makes no sense at all to me. I no longer go to a CC because I wasn’t going anywhere with them, so I transferred back to my old University via online classes. Which I’m finishing the last one now. All three schools that I’ve applied to have my transcripts, the latest they got them was in Feb, so they know what classes I am taking now. I have finished all my Golden 4 classes with a “C or better”, so I’m not understanding what the issues is. I’m trying to be patient but it seems like they’re just taking forever!</p>

<p>Today they updated my todo list. So there’s nothing in there now. Besides that nothing. :(</p>

<p>I haven’t heard from any of the 4 schools I applied for yet, haha, talk about working hard to be patient! Was there something on your todo list before? I just checked mine and it shows the same Financial Aid thing it’s been showing for a few weeks now.</p>

<p>Yea. It was just the FA thing. I’m assuming they got it since its no longer on my todo list. Man this is frustrating!</p>

<p>Well yes if you sent it in then that’s why it’s not there anymore. Be patient, they have to release decisions at some point, lol</p>

<p>They have cleared my FA To do list things as well…is this a good or a bad thing?? I hate speculation :(</p>

<p>I finally show as admitted to CSUSM. I hope the rest of you hear today too.</p>

<p>@Aahollow, congrats! Where does it show admitted? Is it on that screen where it shows “completed application”, in the student center? Or on the welcome screen? Thanks</p>

<p>@aahollow congrats! Nope, nothing has changed yet. Still says completed application. Did they email you or was it only on the portal?</p>
